Do you like to start another one so we can have more MP-ing?
I really need some expirience and just one PBEM game isn't very much.
If you're interested,please start one and send me a file.
We will keep playing previous one,of course.

I just now saw your thread. I want to play more MP games too. We can play a PBEM or we can try the other types of MP. The advantages of the other types of MP is simultaneous turns. So, the game would go a lot faster.
If you want PBEM instead: that's fine, I'll send a file if you say so.

Let's play non-pbem game.
I will be available about 7pm est.
You may find my #ICQ in my profile.

I don't know how to start a game using ICQ.
What we can do is I'll host a game tomorrow at 8 ET (is that ok?). The game will be called "first_game". It will be a Internet TCP/IP type MP. What you have to do is click "Multiplayer", then "internet TCP/IP" then say you want to join an existing game. Leave the space blank, and the computer will search for a game, it should find mine and connect you.

I don't think so. I have to know IP adress of the host (you).
Start menu/Run/winipcfg/ppp adapter/IP adress
(four numbers separated by a dot,something like 234.128.2.165).
Then i have to type that and the game may start.

ICQ is cool little program for instant messages. You may download it for free on www.icq.com
It's really simple to configure (just follow the prompts) and it's much easier to communicate than these forums.

ok, I'll get ICQ.
